What Does Microsoft's Purchase Of Activision Blizzard Mean For Call Of Duty And The Gaming Industry?
, “I’ll just say to players out there who are playing Activision Blizzard games on Sony’s platform: It’s not our intent to pull communities away from that platform and we remained committed to that.”
On the other hand, PlayStation gamers won’t necessarily move to Xbox just for Call Of Duty, and the company risks taking huge losses if the yearly mega-hit doesn’t release on PS4 and PS5, where a large share of copies are sold each year. Perhaps Sony should invest in a AAA military shooter franchise that’s exclusive to PlayStation that rivals Call Of Duty while giving gamers essentially the same experience, but with better campaigns. That would be one benefit of this type of competition.
Meanwhile, the video game industry continues to produce more and more unsustainably expensive AAA titles that increasingly rely on “games-as-service” revenue models to stay afloat, and I remain dubious that this can go on forever. There is only so much time and money in consumers’ pockets.
